> PLEASE don't use FrontPage for modern web development! It's filled with security vulnerabilities and obsolete standards. The goal of this is not to convince you otherwise. The newest version came out almost two decades ago!

petermolnar
urm... it generates static sites. I'm failing to see the vulnerability.

> `What I'm saying is that we need to a simple way for any person to create anything and put it on the Internet. It is not enough to be stuck between the extremes of "no control" and "hideously expensive and time consuming".` - these are really good takeaways.

> Plus, also, this website? It's like my home, on the internet. I have this online, virtual space that I can decorate any which way I want. I can add all sorts of things for people to read, talk all day about the things that interest me, make it any color, any pattern, any font, any layout. I keep it simple, yes, but it's my space.

> If there's anything this pandemic has taught me, it's that I need this space to express myself. For the vast majority of the pandemic I essentialy did not have a life outside the digital world, besides the bare minimum like eating and sleeping and such. Most places outdoors right now are too dangerous, and I do not feel any sense of ownership at all in my current living space. The computer is all I have. It's all a lot of peopl

What is feed reader?
#
Loqi
A feed reader (AKA RSS reader) is an application (local or on the web) that subscribes to feeds (often limited to legacy Atom & RSS) and presents them in an interface for reading, typically without any way to respond, in contrast to a social reader https://indieweb.org/feed_reader
#
[Raphael_Luckom]
what is social reader?
#
Loqi
A social reader is a modern interactive reader that allows you to directly respond to posts (with a like, comment, etc) right there inline with posts as you read them (as people do in social media), in contrast to legacy feed readers which were one-way read-only experiences and provided no mechanisms to interact with or respond to posts https://indieweb.org/social_reader
#
[Raphael_Luckom]
^ that was a pretty cool discovery UX

What is gluon?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "gluon" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "gluon is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
petermolnar
guess: new subatomic particle?
#
jacky
is gluon still active?
#
jacky
it has a nice interface tbh

I think Vincent put it on a hiatus for a while, but then came back to it ultimately.
